Trump = GOP

I know, I know. You want to scream about how awful Donald Trump is, Democratic activist. You want to be repulsed by his white nationalist campaign for the Presidency. You want to assign racial meaning to "Make America Great Again." That's fine. I agree. I just think you're setting your goals too low.

Donald Trump is the GOP. The GOP is Donald Trump. At one point, the other GOP candidates tried to deny the link. Now? The RNC is formalizing the marriage:

For the Trump campaign, it means access to a database containing a trove of information on more than 200 million Americans, which can be used to power a get-out-the-vote effort. And for the RNC, it means that any information Trump collects from his supporters, many of whom are not traditional Republicans, will be fed back into the database for future use by the party and its candidates.

The agreement, which was confirmed by multiple sources, is similar to one signed by the campaigns of most of the candidates for the GOP nomination.

But it is more notable for Trump, both because the billionaire real estate showman continues to spar with the party and because critics have increasingly questioned whether his campaign has assembled the infrastructure considered necessary to capitalize on his strong poll numbers in key early states.

Yes, Donald Trump and the RNC are making nice. Donald is turning out new versions of the "swamp people" for the GOP in this process, and they want those voters bad. You know, the type of voter who wants to ban Muslims and build a wall with Mexico. Those types. Trump has them, they want them, and if that means they have to sign an agreement that helps him win an election, so be it.

It's important to note that this isn't really new, it's simply formalizing what we already knew- Trump represents the GOP. His opponents are not really better people than him. Chris Christie said he wouldn't even take in five year old orphans as refugees. Jeb Bush called for a religious test to decide who can come in the country as a refugee. Marco Rubio called for a war of civilizations with Islam. Ted Cruz has called for carpet-bombing in Syria and Iraq, also known as a war crime. The whole field is a bunch of bigots, or people willing to bait the bigots into voting by giving them what they want. Trump really isn't any worse than the rest of the pack.

The only change is that the GOP is now acknowledging Donald as one of their own, formally. They are accepting him into the clown-car. They will take his crazy, and hold it up as representative of their own. So like I said, Democratic activists, are we done singling out Trump yet?
